New "Junk" For A New Year, Courtesy Of Kia Asamiya

San Jose, CA – DrMaster Publications Inc. announces JUNK , the upcoming manga by acclaimed comic creator Kia Asamiya, will be pushed back by a few weeks. Junk #1 will be available nation wide in mid January 2007 – just in time for the New Year!

In meantime DrMaster has provided a brief glimpse into the reckless and destructive world of Junk. See included sample images.

What it's about…

Hiro is a high school student refusing to go to school after a traumatic run-in with the local bullies. But his feeble life is forever changed when, one day, he applies online for a new gadget called "JUNK". Once the mysterious package arrives, he activates the gadget and finds himself encased within a powered armor JUNK suit. Apparently "the clothes DO indeed make the man" as Hiro is granted abilities far beyond anything the muscle-bound jocks at his school could ever dream. Soon after, he embarks on nightly rampages getting back at the bullies and destroying property until he discovers…. There is another with a unit nearly identical to his own. The owner of the other JUNK suit is a woman who's not too keen on Hiro's abuse of his new super-powered threads, and smacks him around real good for it. To complicate matters even further, he accidentally destroys his home and kills his parents! (oops!) Now, a nave boy must learn to fend for himself and choose to use his power for good or evil.
